Line 36:
* In ''[[Speed Grapher]]'', Kagura Tennozou's kiss can either be a [[Kiss of Death]] or a [[Kiss of Life]], depeding on you having or not the Euphoria Virus in your body. In fact, when the male lead Saiga is kissed by her, he ''does'' have the Virus and acquires superpowers from it.
* In ''[[Mai-Otome]]'', Erstin saves Nina with one of these after the latter drowns in a swimming pool. The [[Les Yay]]-filled imagery is not lost on Nina (or the audience) when she finds out.
* Tessa of ''[[Full Metal Panic!|Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu]]'' sees using CPR on a half-drowned Sōsuke as the perfect excuse for a kiss. Despite the fact that he is breathing and semi-conscious at the time and thus does not ''need'' CPR, a fact her rival for his affections is quick to point out.
** In another episode, Sousuke inverts the trope when he fails to understand why Mizuki gets so upset over him kissing her (while posing as her boyfriend) - because he doesn't think of it as any different from CPR, which he has performed on other people many times before.
* Early in ''[[Seto no Hanayome]]'', Nagasumi gets one from Masa, a henchman in the mermaid yakuza. From then on, Nagasumi treats it like his [[First Kiss]].
Line 71:
* A good candidate for [[Trope Codifier]] would be ''[[The Sandlot]]''. One of the boys, Squints, tries to fake drowning at the community pool to get a shot at kissing an older girl who's working as the lifeguard. Not only does he pull it off, but in the narrator's epilogue, we find out that he eventually ''marries'' her.
** The narrator mentions they were banned from the pool for life, and about that time they pass by the pool and the lifeguard gives Squints a flirty wave. So...I guess she sortof liked it.
* Played with in the movie ''Honey, I Shrunk the Kids'': after Amy nearly drowns, Russ performs artificial respiration. It's played straight and not sexualized - but not long after Amy has revived, her little brother Nick asks Russ where he learned how to do that. Russ replies, "French class", a reference revisited at the very end of the movie when Nick [[Late to
* In ''[[Hot Rod]]'', after Rod nearly drowns during his training, Denise uses CPR on him, which he is informed of later. He asks his stepbrother Kevin if it looked like they were making out, and Kevin tells him it did, a little. Rod's response: "Awesome."
** He also pukes all over Denise after the CPR, at least partially thwarting [[CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable]].
Line 132:
** Later in season 2 he does this for real, played more for drama.
* ''[[Ren and Stimpy]]'' - fireman Ren goes into a dead faint trying to rescue a female [[Fat Slob]]. She gives him mouth-to-mouth, inflating him like a balloon with each breath - he comes to, gets a [[Gross Up Close-Up|good look at her]], shrieks and faints again.
* Done on ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'' for an in-universe television show where Arnold and Helga win a sand castle contest and get to be on the show. Arnold is playing a boy who's drowning and gets rescued by the life guards, however, Helga pushes them aside and goes straight for the kill... I mean, kiss of life. However she turns it into a kiss rather than just mouth-to-mouth ressucitation.
